Abstract
Kashmir and Punjab are two neighboring States which are adjacent to each other, similar in socio-cultural aspects but unfamiliar in climate and geographic contents. These states remained interdependently interlinked with each other in natural perspectives such as the watersheds of Kashmir directly flows into the Punjab which irrigates its fields and maximizes its fertility while the flow of people into Kashmir was directly and indirectly linked with Punjab from settlers or migrants and emigrations. The Aryans were migrated from Punjab but with passage of time the Kashmiris travelled and migrated towards Punjab for trade and other activities which made a healthy economic nexus, later down it further encouraged into massive emigrations due to riots, famines and rude governance in Kashmir especially during post Mughal era in Kashmir due to highly taxation and heavy commodification. In the era of Ranjit Sing the majority of migrants mostly focused “movement towards the capital or Lahore Takht” which stated as the movement towards urban from rural area. These ties were extended into mutual trade, domestic and educational relationship and these contacts enhanced more and more with the construction of Sialkot and Jammu Railway line. Although social interconnectivity was on extreme during the uprising of 1931 in Srinagar on the accident of blasphemy of Holy Quran and response from the people of Punjab in kindness and sympathy. This paper is the contribution to dig out the major emigration which caused by famines, and riotsalong with its socio-cultural impacts on the links between Punjab and Kashmir in prospects of “Resolution of Accession to Pakistan” dated July 19th, 1931.
